Children Act Fast? So Do Poisons.

An important beginning has been made in breaking through the psychological barriers to peace between Arabs and Israelis.

There is complete agreement between him and me about our determination to work, without ceasing, to bring peace to the Middle East.

The United States envisages its role and responsibilities in the peace process as a friend of both sides with a strong interest in peace and stability in the region.

Events set in train by President Sadat's initiative in going to Jerusalem have opened the prospect of real peace in the Middle East.

A peaceful solution must be found to spare the people of the Middle East the agony of another war.

Efforts should remain focused on creating conditions which are conducive to the achievement of tangible results.

Hope and perseverance are essential for overcoming the obstacles we face.

Address to the Nation on the Panama Canal treaties

I will nominate Robert J. McCloskey of Chevy Chase, Md., to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenitpotentiary of the United States to Greece.

The strength of our democracy is dependent on the active participation of its citizens.

I pray that that doesn't give us a sense of pride or exaltation or a sense of self-satisfaction, but that it gives us a sense of humility and that we turn to God through prayer, so that we might better serve those who have placed their…

Bankruptcy is not an acceptable solution to its problems.

I have a sense of confidence that if we emphasize and reinforce those ties of mutual faith and our subservience and humility before God that we can prevail.

God is ever-present in my life—sustains me when I am weak, gives me guidance when I turn to him, and provides for me as a Christian through the life of Christ, a perfect example to emulate in my experiences with other human beings.

In our rapidly changing world, we need to cling to things that don't change—to truth and justice, to fairness, to brotherhood, to love, and to faith.

I assured him of my commitment to preserve New York City's solvency.

This is not merely the surest way to protect and save the canal, it's a strong, positive act of a people who are still confident, still creative, still great.

The most important reason—the only reason—to ratify the treaties is that they are in the highest national interest of the United States.

This means that for the fiscal year which began on October 1, 1977, and which will end on September 30, 1978, new commitments... will not exceed $8.6 billion.
